SmartBits 600x/6000x Installation Guide | 25
To ensure that SmartBits systems perform well in your environment, observe the
following guidelines when installing and using SmartBits in your lab:
• All cables must be terminated, both at the SmartBits and at the DUT. Do not leave an
unused port with a cable plugged in and dangling.
• Use only certified cable in any SmartBits Ethernet port (both control port and test
ports).
• Use only yellow optical cable with SmartBits ports that support single-mode optics.
• Use only orange or gray optical cable with SmartBits ports that support multi-mode
optics.
• All SmartBits cards and modules should be fully inserted into the chassis, and all
thumb screws should be tightened.
• In a crowded engineering prototype lab, be careful of the layout of test cables used to
connect the SmartBits and devices under test. Avoid passing test cables over or under
other DUT or live equipment. If test cables are very long, avoid looping cables around
live equipment.
Important: Use the ferrite clamp supplied with each SmartBits chassis on one end of the
Ethernet cable connecting the SmartBits to the LAN or to the PC.
• Use common sense. For example, a test or control cable laid over the AC power
supply of an open DUT will most likely produce faulty measurement results.
